Lake Has Ugly Wound-CIews Left by
the Robber.
ROME, n. Y, April 1.-Express Messenger
Lake, who was robbed between Clark's
Mills and Frankfort Wednesday night,
reached the latter place about midnight
and was able to proceed to the doctors
Office, where his wound was dressed. He
was shot IN the upper part of the right arm,
the bail passing through the shoulder and
causing an ugly wound. Soon after his
tram left Clark's Mills man entered his
car through a side door which he had showed
back, saying as he entered: Throw up your
hands, Lake did not realize for moment
what was up and failed to comply, and the
intruder thereupOn shot him. Lake fell to
the floor, and his assailant said: ''NOw,
- you; when tell you to hold up your
hands again you'll do it, won't you!" The
robber then bound Lakes hands and feet
and put gag in his mouth. Then he took
a bunch of keys out of the pockets of the
messenger and unlocked the safe, which he
rifled Of the money packages, securing be-
tween 800 and $500. The robber left the
car at the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern railroad crossing, but before leaving
said to Lake: g. you, if you say any
thing about this I VIII come back and kill
you" At Utica the car was opened and
Lake freed from his uncOmfOrt.
able position. The assailant was a
large, strong man, wearing mask
that hung down over his chest. His hair
was cut very short at the back and his
hands were calloused, hard and dry. Two
brothers named Schultz, who were hunting
with a dog in Harttield's woods near the
Ontario SE Western railroad station in New
Hartford yesterday, found pieces of the eX-
press money envelopes taken from Messen-
ger Lake fthe West Shore road, Wednesday
night. In his haste the robber left pieces
of bank notes in the torn parts Of the en-
velopes. Distinct footprints Of but one man
were discovered. Tie express officials are

Hark from the T0Inbs !


A rafting among the dry bones
of defunct Radicalism has just been
awakened by J. Madison Wells,
of notorious Returning Board fame.
He is now in New Orleans for the
purpose of bringing suit against
Gen. A. S. Badger to enforce an
agreement of contract, made at the
instance and with the advice of w.
P. Kellogg, by which he (Wells)
was to have one-half of the pro-
ceeds and perquisites of the Office
of tax collector for the fourth
municipal district of New Orleans.
Kellogg and Badger say that Wells
cannot enforce his contract for the
reason that he swore before the
Congressional investigating COM
mittee that he had no moneyed
| interest in the result of the Presi-
Dental election, and this contract
pnoves that Wells at that time
periured himself. Wells takes the
bull by the horns, and says he can
not be punished for his perjury,
for the reason that the committee
was not a court of competent juris-
diction, and he pertinently asks
Badger and Kellogg "Who is the
worst off, you who defrauded q
friend out of his money, or l who
committed perjury" and he adds
s4rue you are better fixed than ]
am, for you have the money to de.

McEnery and the Debt Amend
ment.

lGinden Dem0crnt-IuDune.l
The Monroe Bulletin takes issue
with us for making q statement
that McEnery was responsible for
carrying the debt amendment Nc
Emery, in his speech in Minden,
claimed for the administration the
credit p of the bonds rising In
value, which was brought about by
the debt amendment at q cost to
the State of $4,000 annually.
The Bulletin thinks we do Nichols
and McEnery both an injury by
bringing this subject up, as Mich
oils, it says, signed a petition to
the Legislature to submit the
amendment. We had heard before
that Nichols did this; but at the
same time there is q vast difference
between private citizen favoring
the submission of question to
the people for their decision, and
an administration forcing an
amendment through by fraud, as
the Bulletin cannot deny, unless it
claims there was q fair election in
Tensas. We have vague recol-
lection of the history of this
amendment It is well known that
the greater part of our State debt
was q fraud born of Radical ini-
guilty. There was at one time q
great cry from our people to re-
pudiate part of it, but Kellogg 4
Co. had so mixed the honest debt
with the fraudulent that compro-
mise had to be made by the con-
stitutional convention reducing the
interest. This did not satisfy the
bondholders, and suit was brought
through the State of New Hamp.
shire for the original exhorbitani
interest. During the pending o.
| the suit this amendment was pro.
posed as q compromise, but before
! It was voted upon by the people
the case was decided against thu
bondholders. As they did moi
consider the compromise binding
why should the people? We haf
before us the glaring proposition
| to vote on: shall we increase tn
interest to please the creditors
